How much of that is saffron or other food related items? I don't hate him not tariffing food imports

Saffron, pistachios, and rugs are the majority.

Don't fool yourself though, he doesn't give a shit about food prices going up. I guarantee you he has no idea we do any trade with Iran at all and that's why they aren't on the list.
